Bi-Lo Bargain Meal of the Week - Jambalaya & Cornbread

Sausage & Chicken Jambalaya with Cornbread

I'm a big fan of "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it."  I've been using a box mix for my Jambalaya for a while now, and trust me - it ain't broke, so that's why I use it!  I love Zatarain's Rice Mixes and the seasoning is great.  They are a little high in sodium, so I was pretty excited when they came out with a low sodium version.

No, this isn't a "homemade" recipe, but I'm not ashamed to tell y'all that I use a little help in the kitchen from time to time - especially when it's delicious and makes my life a little easier. Anyhow, we'll be having jambalaya this week - what about you?

Brown the smoked sausage and chicken in a large dutch oven with just a touch of butter or bacon grease. Then add water (only two cups!), tomatoes, and the rice mix.  Bring it to a boil, then cover and reduce heat for 25 minutes.   

I serve this with cornbread and honey butter since it is just a little spicy- 

which makes my kids (and husband) very, very happy!
